When we moved to this house in 2002, the woodshed was half filled with logs. Since we have a fireplace, we burn a few now and then for ambience… but since we don’t use it as a heat source we never really put a dent in the huge stack.
Over the years (Decades. Damn, I’m getting old!) my husband has cut and split trees on our property and dutifully stacked them in the already full shed.
It’s only recently that he decided enough is enough. We’ll never burn a fraction of the stockpile and there’s literally no room for anything else so…

He’s letting go of the birch, apple, poplar, maple and pear.
And with the current cost of firewood? He let it go at a very reasonable price.
In no time at all, a couple showed up with their truck and started loading.

It was an 8 foot bed and they were sure they could fit it all.
.

But a second trip was required.
.

And when the wife saw we had a tree full of crabapples behind the shed? She asked if she could harvest some for jelly.
.
.
Everyone was happy.
.
.
The local couple could fill their wood stove cheaply.
.
.
And we could finally see the interior walls of our shed.
.
.
Which after 23 unseen and untouched years, are going to need some serious work.
